The Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition (hereinafter referred to as “the Association”) is pleased to announce that applications will open for the 7-Day Advance Lottery for Pavilions and Events on 13 March.
Some pavilions are now eligible for reservations in the 7-Day Advance Lottery. Visitors can apply to the lottery from one month before until eight days before their visit date.
At the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan (hereinafter referred to as “the Expo”) there are many pavilions and events that can be enjoyed without
a reservation, and some pavilions and events have registration slots available on the day, but we recommend that you make a reservation in advance to avoid waiting times and enjoy pavilions and events in comfort.
■ About Pavilion and Event Bookings
At Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan we have introduced a booking system for visiting dates and times and for pavilions and events. Once you have reserved a visit date and time, you can apply for advance bookings for pavilions and events.
There are three opportunities to book pavilions and events in advance: the “2-Month Advance Lottery”, the “7-Day Advance Lottery” and the “Available Slot Reservation (first-come, first-served).” After booking a visit date and time, you can apply for each of these opportunities. If you are successful in all three applications, you can visit the Expo with up to three slots reserved in advance. In addition to your pre-reserved slots, you can also use the same-day registration slots to make a reservation after entering the Expo site on the day of your visit.
▷ 2-Month Advance Lottery: 3 to 2 months before your visit. Winners will be announced in order 2 months before your visit date.
▷ 7-Day Advance Lottery: 1 month to 8 days before your visit. Winners will be announced in order 7 days before your visit date.
▷ Available Slot Reservation: 3 days to 9:00 on the day before your visit.
▷ Same-Day Registration: Registration available 10 minutes after entering the Expo site. The next
slot will become available after viewing the pavilion/event that you registered for using a same-day registration slot.
*Note: Super Early Bird One-day Ticket holders and winners of the Super Early Bird Special Lottery held last October can book up to four slots in advance.
